I used this book for an intermediate micro course I took, and while I cannot say that it instilled in me a burning desire to further study economics, I also did not hate the book. The course I found to be fairly dry as it progressed rather slowly, but from what I read of this book I found myself pleasantly surprised by its readability. I expected a book that would hold my hand and walk me slowly through every step (which is what I did not want), and even though the book is approachable for students of varying mathematical backgrounds, he was not as afraid as I expected him to be with mathematics. The graphs are generally useful, though sometimes the formatting places them in awkward positions or on subsequent pages. The exercises are fairly routine. It's a fine book, and I'm sure many economics students will find great use from it. For me, though, I don't think I'll be changing teams to join economists any time soon. But, my brief experience was not as bad as I expected.

I took an intermediate microeconomics class with this book. Unfortunetly the author Varian wanted to make some extra money on the side so the book has only a few problems and examples. Why?
Because there is an "accompaniment" workbook. Another $50, but if u really just want some practice, you can find an older version online posted for free, google it people. (The practice workbook has ~800 questions over the ~30 chapters in the book, and is pretty useful actually)
It is a fun read, really it is. It has some great examples in this and is well divided into roughly 30 chapters. Whatever course your taking, this book is too long for 1 semester so you'll probably skip the later chapters that have more to do with game theory and such.
The case studies are good, and the book does a good job explaining utility, CS, PS, allocative efficiency vs. cost effective efficiency, and finally a very good job (covered in 4 chapters) the role and types of monopolists.
If your teacher assigns this textbook, its not the end of the world. Im not sure I would pick it up if it wasnt assigned though, its not that level of good.

I sometimes think that some texts add extra "filler" or color solely to justify a higher price. This text is two color (the 8th edition is black & green text). An additional color might add a little something to readability. Otherwise, the text is excellent. I have occasionally used it to explain things I _didn't_ get from lower-level texts. It is very comprehensive, including attention to subjects of current interest (in 2010, as I write this). Given how dry economics can be, Varian does a great job of making it readable.

A good textbook. If your econ class requires it it's a good buy at roughly $40.00 used.

The book was in a very good condition. It was better than what I thought. So, I recommend that everyone should patronize this seller due to the fact that their books are really cheap and in good condition.
